Baloney.
1) Naturalisitic processes to be determined caused molecular compounds to gradually come togther in a correct configuration for imperfect self-replication.
2) A divine agent of unspecified nature zap-poofed the first life forms into existence.
3) Aliens from another planet and/or dimension seeded the early Earth with life
4) Humans in the future travel back in time and plant the first life forms, making life a causality loop.
5) Some process other than the above four.
Which of the above must be true for evolution to occur? If you can't give a reason as to why evolution is impossible if any of the other four are true, then your claim of "Baloney" is bogus.
To even discuss it in the context of evolution opens the door to supernatural explanations
Supernatural explanations have no place in science. If the real cause of the first life forms was supernatural intervention then science will simply never be able to explain where the first life forms originated. That does not falsify evolution.

Supernatural explanations have no place in science.If it is off the table then science is not a search for the truth. A search for the truth does not allow for any possible explanation to be removed from discussion. The problem is that natural science has no explanation for the existence of nature. But since you have ruled out the supernatural from scientific study, you have no scientific way of determining how the natural came into existence.
The fact is that the presence of the natural presupposes the supernatural.
